Description:

Most of the stuff works out of the box including 3D and wifi. The only problem I found was with the blue Fn buttons when changing the screen brightness and it was easy to fix. The screen brightness didn't change in order from dimm to bright when using the Fn buttons. It changed randomly.

To fix the problem, just modify your /etc/default/grub configuration file to include acpi_osi=Linux parameter on the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line. So, if it looks like this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

Make it look like this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux"

Reboot and after that it should work perfectly.

Now, here is some info about the integrated web camera:

It continues quite a lot after that but I think that is the most important part.
